Clean room, simple online check in, offered a free beer because of self check-in, conveniently located for university, pubs and Ulster Museum. We were a family of 4 in 2 double beds. Plenty of space for everyone.

Check in was a nightmare. Phone to speak to off site reception was not answered. Only by going to the bar, que uing up and the 3rd person finally got us in to the hotel area. Terrible way to have to check in. Better communication .... early on .... before booking .... might of helpful. Also levels of cleanliness in the room was below only the higher levels tho. £140 for two adults and NO breakfasts was an insult.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
This was a surprising gem of a find. It ticked off all the proper boxes: Clean, quiet and comfortable room. Superb communication with management regarding remote check in, check out, etc. The attached bar offers good food and drinks, and there are also many quirky and tasty places of all kinds within a 5 minute walk left or right. The location is closer to the Uni quarter than downtown, but both are within walkable range. I will definitely stay here again. l

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Room nice, but I thought expensive for what it was. Free beer on check in is a nice touch (pls provide a bottle opener though?) but our self check in didn’t work and we had to phone. Quite loud at night and fire alarm light was flashing in our faces above the bed all night. Room lighting not very good, bathroom lighting clinical and no option to control room temperature. All in all fine but wouldn’t pay as much as we did, £50 a night at most.
